2 years ago I went to #Antarctica with #teamHB4 of @HomewardBound16. I will never forget the BREATHTAKING BEAUTY and the SILENCE, only broken by the sound of waves, friendly animal life or crackling icebergs. This is one of my favourite photos that I called “leap of faith”🐧❄️

Just presented my talk on the role of disease-associated hepatocytes (daHeps) in liver tumour initiation and am now looking forward to the rest of a fantastic #LorneCancer meeting! Great programme, good discussions and a lot avenues for new collaborations - love it!

Always great to celebrate a final PhD seminar ✨ Well done 👏🏻 .@nurdianah_ presented on “the role of aspirin in a novel model of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease and HCC prevention”. We will miss Dianah’s outstanding histochemistry and pathology skills! 🔬🤓

Delighted to have contributed to this study with @rodcarlessi & the Liver Cancer Collaborative, led by Michael Karin (UCSD). ✨ Our research uncovers how FBP1 suppression via hypermethylation + a metabolic switch drive the evolution of HCC in MASH ✨.

ARC & NHMRC released grant outcomes. There will be a lot of people who could really do with a hug today. I am feeling for the many brilliant researchers that will miss out in a 10% success system with no accountability for scores & comments. We must do better 😔 #BringPanelsBack

Peer review without accountability fails everyone - applicants, research and the public. We must do better.

Just saw de-identified feedback for Investigator Grants &am appalled by the lack of effort in some reviews-generic comments,barely any substance. Careers+lives depend on peer review with ZERO accountability. Applicants deserve better! @nhmrc BRING PANELS BACK! #ResearchIntegrity
